Nitrogen:
Hi my name is Nitrogen and I am a gas. I am found in the Earth's atmosphere and i make up about 78% of the air. I am sometimes used to preseve historical documents such as the Declaration of Independence. I sometimes like to save lives and i am into the airbags in cars. I also can be a little dangerous and be put into dynamite and other explosive equipment.

Krypton:
Hola! I am Krypton and I am a noble gas. I only make up about 0.00014 percent of the atmosphere. I was discovered by liquifying air! I am never found in my solid forms and I can be used in lightbulbs. I am shot around using lasers.

~Energy is the ability to do work.
~Work is the action that results if a force causes an object to move in the direction of the force.
~Both energy and work are measured in joules (J)
~One joule is a newton meter.
~The two main types of energy are Kinetic and Potential energy.
~Kinetic energy is the energy of motion.
~Potential energy (stored energy) is the energy an object has because of its position and shape.
~The various forms of energy are thermal, chemical, electrical, sound, light and nuclear energy.

Forms
~Potential energy: ~Kinetic Energy:
-chemical energy -Thermal energy
-gravitational energy -Sound Energy
-Electrical Energy
-Light Energy
-Nuclear Energy
